Advisoring

I am not a coach. There are many people who have taken the time and effort to get trained and certified to be coaches. I have not.

I do have 30 years experience working with Creative professionals and have managed dozens of design leaders in my career.

Occasionally, I work with leaders to help provide perspective, advice and a debate (sparring) partner.

Who I work with

Design leaders - people leading groups of designers or other creative professionals inside digital product companies. This can range from startups to big tech companies.
Leaders are reporting to VP or CEO and have anywhere from 6-1000 reports (direct or recursive).
Founders/Leaders trying to establish or new to leading Design teams.

What I can help with:

Scaling - How do you grow your team? What processes are important? Which are a waste of time? Hiring
Product Strategy - Working through features and product value.
People Management
Org Design - What is the right organizational design to build the product(s)

How does it work
